The city of canals, Venice, is flooded, quite a sight

Like Lowry, at the end of his working day

This land of Mine 

I have lived here for twenty years, olive trees 
and brown, rugged rocks are my best friends. 

 Watering can and flowers in my garden, yet 
the locals still refer to me as O Estrangero....

A uranium mine was big brother's plan
The locals resist as best they can,
From Orkney to Oban-
Vicitory inspired a piano piece,

The locals’ boats all gathered round;
Napoleon was in The Sound
On board Bellerophon.

Two guardships kept the crowds at bay;
The Emperor was on his way
To exile, freedom gone.

Some people have no sense at all
Live abroad acting like fools
Not wanting to integrate
nor eating what the locals make
Only want to go get drunk
find an easy lay
So many idiots abroad
why can't they stay at home!...

Clutching golden rings
The divorcees sign the end
Of a bad divorce

The stranger arrives
Grasping the death sentences
The locals refuse

Troops converge with drums
Signaling to the vultures
That prey has arrived...

I’m weakened by the hazy heat,
But locals bustle in the street,
And all around me lively talk.

The tarmac melting as I walk,
I see the artefacts of Rome -
And guess it’s pouring down at home.

A Country with more
billionaires who trust foreign 
banks than the locals

Due to some wars and 
rebellions which are pushed by 
 foreign companies. 

Very rich country 
In the world but wars kill it 
Slowly by slowly.

The cruisers bought all the 
canned food that was for the locals,

The small island stores stocked in three week
segments of time,

The Marquesans waved when the sailors pulled up anchor,
smiling big with their gifts from the brief, fast moving visitors,
new t shirts that said USA...

Whenever I visit the Louisiana bayou,
gator hunters fight and argue to have me on their crew.
I only bait their lines, I don't hunt the alligator.
All of the locals refer to me as The Master Baiter.

I don't like that reference actually.
I wish they'd come up with another nick name for me.

White chevron squadrons usher in spring
With squawking and honking and flapping of wings.
Their return brings a weekend to revel in fun.
The locals all love it, and hundreds more come!
But the poor migrant snow goose must be sorely perplexed;
Revered on one weekend, then slaughtered the next!...

...Though in closing, it must be said
they did not remain there for long.
A damned Yankee wed to a Reb?
The locals all declared it wrong.

Like many others they went west,
and made Colorado there home,
the family lives there to his day,
‘Abner’ a family name well-known.

…and ‘April’ too....

That Ugly Signal Hill Fence

That new ugly fence
Will be torn down after all.
The Feds have listened
To the locals and
Our visitors and tourists
Display their disgust.

A breath of fresh air.
Those Feds listening for once
Doing the right thing.

Cornish Cove
Fishing
Ever wishing for a bigger catch
Lobster, Crab and Pollock and Bass

Fresh Air
Can be found there
So people come from near and far
And of course too many travel by car

On the beach
A paradise in reach
Please take away all your litter
Or You’ll leave the locals bitter...

(Tanka Prose)

The anticipation was palpable, as the field filled with anxious onlookers. Locals mixed with those who had traveled from far away to share a moment~

           the shadow crept
           then it was dark
               eclipse
           something so small hides
           and exposes realities...
